What a moment. On Saturday, Amaury Pierron put down a performance that confirms once more that when the track gets technical, steep and ruthless, few are as dialled as he is. In front of roaring crowds and under shifting Alpine light, he captured the win in the Elite Men’s Downhill at Lenzerheide.
The Stage: Bike Kingdom – Lenzerheide
Lenzerheide is one of those tracks that forces truth. High altitude, high speed, steep pitches, rock gardens, and transitions that test your nerve and your precision. On race day the course offered no favours; small mistakes get punished, big ones kill your run. Conditions were mixed: some dampness in shaded sections, dusty soil where the sun had baked cuts open. It was technical, it was sketchy, it was everything a top-level downhill race should be.
Amaury’s Run: What Set It Apart
- Clean, controlled aggression. Amaury didn’t throw the bike around; every line looked well rehearsed, yet he pushed where others hesitated. He carried just the right speed into the rock gardens, kept poise over roots, and nailed his jumps and landings with that smooth yet assertive style only he can pull off.
- Adaptability under pressure. Where grip changed, trails shifted, Amaury adjusted on the fly — tire roll, braking points, weight distribution. He didn’t panic. He didn’t overcommit. He rode smart, but you felt every second he was riding to win.
- Mental composure. When the stakes are high — mountain looming, cameras rolling, rivals tailing — this is when championship-calibre riders show up. Amaury showed up. No visible slip ups, no tentative moments. Just forward motion, precision under fire.
What This Win Means
- Momentum boost – With this victory, Amaury reasserts himself as a force in the 2025 World Cup downhill scene. It’s not just about one win; it’s about presence, belief, and putting down a marker for what the rest of the stages must contend with.
- Confidence for the team & equipment. Every racer knows: glory or failure, your gear must perform. Suspension, brakes, tires, protection, lubrication — everything has to be in sync. This win validates all the prep, the logistics, the tuning. Feels good to know our products played their part behind the scenes.
- Championship implications. Every World Cup point matters. A win at Lenzerheide shifts the psychological balance — both for Amaury and his competitors. Now the target is on, but also respect has to be paid.
What’s Next
After Lenzerheide, there’s no rest. The season still has rounds to run, riders are hungry, the tracks will push hard. For Amaury, this win means defending form, keeping consistency, avoiding crashes, and making sure gear, bike, body and mind stay sharp. For us here at Muc-Off, it means doubling down on innovation, testing, and support so that when race day comes, everything clicks.
Race days like this remind us why we do what we do. Onwards and upwards — the next drop awaits. 🏁
